@@highcountrydelatite Nah, honey badgers are the most aggressive, bull sharks have nothing on them. Honey badgers will eagerly throw down with animals that should be able to one-hit-kill them (leopards, birds of prey, whole lion prides), while bull sharks are usually cowed by crocodiles and hippos despite having a larger size than honey badgers. Heck, bull sharks only attack people 64 times a year (with much fewer kills), while hippos kill 500 people _every year._ So obviously, other animals are much more aggressive than bull sharks.
Could be both TBH. He did said that the fin adds nothing besides status. And if the fin does nothing for the soup and learning that they cut it off and let them go back to the sea, that is probably the most disrespectful and distasteful act to him. Either kill a shark and use all of its meat or leave them alone. Not give them such a cruel fate.

In the country I live in, there are so many hunters that we don't really need regulators for anything but possibly boars. Those reproduce far too quickly. I don't remember exactly how many had to be removed for the population to remain the same, but I think it was like 2/3 of the entire population. Just for it to not grow.
@@CottidaeSEA Then your hunters are overstepping. Man doesn't know the intricacies of nature. It's not a simple thing. The wolves are naturally evolved to be regulators. They naturally get it right.

Here is a fun trivia i read in a book ages ago. Apparantly scientists took a bulldhark found FAR in land, perhaps even a lake cant remember exactly, and they put it in a tank with various noises playing. It didnt give a shit until the Orca played, it went ballistic trying to flee. And this is despite the fact it should have NEVER personally encountered orcas. The fear is just ingrained genetically it seems
@@DragonguyA yaaaah but theyre also called orsimer. Orcs are just the name given to em by humans. Whereas in LoTR for instance while an orc is still just a corrupted elf made by morgoth. They are dark twisted lil fucks.
Bring back old school shark week where its just scientists who don't have a clue on how to host a tv show with such little charisma but such a great love of sharks. I used to beg my parents to record this entire week on VHS as a kid, and I would rewatch them and be enamored by the sharks, the facts, and the calming content that was only good thanks to my obsession with these amazing animals and had absolutely no drama or action to it.
I was going to comment the same thing. I liked how it was a bunch of facts and generally a message of "sharks aren't monsters, they're important to the environment, and aren't nearly as aggressive as you think they are." now it's "here's 30 minutes of shark attack footage...and here's Morgan Freeman."
I haven't turned on Discovery since they got rid of these loveable dorks. No charisma. The editors worked their hardest to make their parts look good, but their sheer love of their work made you listen.
I appreciate the ones where it’s non-scientists reacting to shark clips followed by the scientists explaining what’s actually going on in the clip, but that’s as far as I want it to stray from strictly scientists nerding out over sharks.
Discovery has been dead to me since they aired that bullshit "documentary" on megladon years ago and tried to pass it off as non-fiction with no disclaimer or anything when it was all faked. I think the jerkoff CEO who is killing off animation now might have been in charge of Discovery then too, which would track at least.
Sharks are like giant toddlers, if they don't know what something is, they stick it in their mouth (because that's their most sensitive organ) so they can learn more about it. They typically don't like eating humans because they are used to eating fish, which barely have any bones, or seals, which have a lot more meat on their bones than humans. Still, a curiosity bite from a shark can be dangerous... so punch them in the nose and they'll leave you alone.
@@ferretyluv Had one bite my ankle in "friend bonding behavior." They bite each other by way of greeting, saying goodby, sex. We swam together for a mile, calm as anything. Then while I was leaving, wading in the water, he bit me in the ankle and left. I mean, friendly yes. Danger still.
You know Orca's are terrifying. When just the act of playing the sound recording of an Orca makes shark scatter, like drunk teens when they hear police sirens
Forget the bubbles and make a small device that produces the orca sound and attach it to life vests. I’d feel a lot better with that on me if I ever found myself stranded at sea, but I don’t go more then knee deep so that’s never going to happen
Orcas will grape without the g young sharks sometimes, even biting off their fins so they can't swim away so that the shark pups can be used as fleshlights

There's a game called Maneater which is a ridiculous action RPG. While you do play a murderous, insatiable hunter the game is full of factoids that tell you just how important Sharks are for the ocean. The Devs really knew their stuff

Dude, as a lifelong shark fan and having managed a dive shop, it is a wild thing to try to get people to not treat them like horror movie monsters. I love sharks, I've always found them fascinating, but the amount of bad press they've gotten sometimes makes it seem insurmountable.
Life long marine based land critter here, i would rather dive in a shark feeding frenzy with chum blocks tied to me than be anywhere near those pesky sneaky SOB goliath groupers. Had one come outta freakin nowhere and thump the eff outta me trying to see if id qualify as food when i was like 15, the scary part was its mouth was indeed wider than my shoulders and it was a big boi estimated between 600-800lbs. It knocked the wind outta me. They're quite curious creatures, and once they figure out your not food they'll just kinda stalk and study you. But until they get that memo they spook tf outta me lurking for an opportunity to find out lmao.
@@realdragon there was a group of nurse sharks at a jetty at my favorite beach in my hometown, id go swimming with em every weekend for hours. Even swam with multiple generations of em. Id go swishing sand around and find shell fish for em to munch on. Im not sure if it was my behavior, scent, or electrical field but they didnt get spooked by me like they did other beach goers, and i could actually gently handle them. Freaked my mom out when i stood up in the water nestling a 4ft shark at the waters surface lol. They're honestly like sea puppies and can form mild bonds with enough time.
@@100GTAGUY From what I read on wikipedia nurse sharks are quite docile but that doesn't mean they won't bite. All cases of them butting human was most likely people getting stupid around them thinking they won't do anything. I haven't seen any shark irl but I want so badly to swim among them
@@100GTAGUY One of the most fearsome looking, sand tigers, are just like big dogs for the most part; they're just curious about this other critter in their environment. They're out there on almost every dive, and they don't mean you any harm, you just gotta respect them as wild animals.
Strangely enough, I have seen less and less of them wash up ashore here in the Netherlands. There used to be 1000's of them beached everytime I went to the beach during my childhood, but in recent years I have seen just one or two and sometimes none at all.
just an annoying reminder that anecdotal data is not sufficient to make any generalised claims. mamadou was mostly making a hypothetical claim that a trophic cascade could lead to jellyfish blooms which can cause far worse devastation - hence jellies are scarier than sharks. that conclusion is more of a hyperbole, but also an invitation to change our perspectives. jelly blooms may be happening more in certain areas while jellies could be going locally extinct elsewhere... the oceans are far from a single ecosystem and they hella complex.
@@madtabby66 I remember something years ago where someone said that the only show on the entire Discovery Network (Discovery, History, Animal Planet, Science, TLC, etc) that still qualified as educational was "How It's Made."

Re: shark finning. There's a comic artist (Jenny Jinya) who draws really beautiful and heartbreaking comics about Death taking different animals only it's not framing Death as cruel or evil (Loving Reaper is the series).

He asks them to just talk to him like they usually do until he dies. The comics are intended to bring awareness to animal abuse and the danger man-made things like pools to wildlife.

"Sting of Death" is a garbage horror movie from the 60s where a guy turns himself into a Portuguese man-o-war (not a jellyfish, but they call it that in the movie). There's a scene where a fleet of men-o-war (portrayed with plastic bags) attack a boat full of partygoers and somehow murk everyone on it. It really sucks. And I love it.
You want a better jellyfish/ man o war like film? Check out 1964s Dogora. It’s about a giant flying space jellyfish like creature that eats coal. The movie is mostly a crime film about diamond thieves but it’s fun
My cousin is a marine biologist in the navy and he said sharks are exactly like dogs almost with sharp ass teeth. You don’t threaten them. They want to see who you are. The nose bump is a sign of they literally don’t care you’re there but they want to smell you. Also sharks love being fussed. Attention to them is love. If you pet a shark once they will not stop wanting to be loved. Most animals are like that. But he’s been studying sharks for like 18 or more years. I want to swim with them so bad but I haven’t got the means
@@pain3236 I remember seeing that. It was some sort of revenge story, a male orca goes after humans when they kill its pregnant mate, wasn't it? So somewhat sympathetic still.
I don't blame Jaws for being a successful horror fiction movie, I blame the idiots in the audiences who let their fear of sharks dictate how the real-life animals should be treated.
Benchley was an amateur biologist. Just one of those guys who grew up around the ocean and loved the life in it. By way of fixing all the shark hate that Jaws might have created, he wrote a book called Shark Life. I recommend it if you like factual reading. It's boring to some people because it's factual stories of his own family's encounters in the ocean while Scooba diving, as well as basic ocean safety swimming and diving. But if you love shark information on a personal level, it's a great book.
Jaws didn't do that. People have been killing sharks for millennia. People have feared sharks for millennia. People have been harvesting shark fins for centuries at least, and these days it happens mostly in 3rd world countries or international waters, with some notable exceptions. Most of the people killing sharks today never watch Jaws, by my guess.
Always loved sharks. One of my favorite games is Maneater, I love playing as a shark, cleaning up the ocean and getting rid of shark hunters lol. I've always found them cute, even as a small child. I fear them as much as I fear a snake, enough to want to keep one! 😂 Although I'd never do that because there is now way I'd want to keep a beautiful creature on display inside a tank.
It's crazy to me how scared people are when we've screwed them over so much worse. Fear and Hollywood are powerful things. I've always loved and been fascinated by these creatures, and I wish there was more being done to spread the good word about them. Not enough people realize how cooked we'd be with them, and that even a 450 million year old apex predator can be toppled by us and deserves to be protected. Gordan Ramsey said: "Leave them alone, respect their beauty."
The fact that Jaws is lauded as a "masterpiece" makes me want to projectile vomit all over the idiots who say that. Nothing has ever been worse for sharks' reputation and if Jaws didn't tell Hollywood they could make money off of this fear mongering, sharks would be in a much better place.
I'm a lifetime shark apologist and I will not be stopping anytime soon. I'm so glad that public opinion really seems to be turning around on these guys 'cause they really deserve to be seen for just how sweet they can really be
@@woahblackbettybamalam You mean not like Jaguars, crocodiles, spiders, snakes, hawks, eagles, hippos, orcas, dolphins, and dogs?

Sharks have been one of my favorite animals since I was little, I can't stand all the misinformation and bad press out there. Videos like this and a small handful of documentaries, still give me hope, and make me happy. 🦈
3:55 Thresher sharks really are the most anxious looking sharks to me lol, if they had hands those hands would likely be always fiddling with each other lol
6:34 Other animals: "I use my belly and back to hide in the dark and light!" Honeybadgers: "COME AT ME "PREDITOR" LET'S SEE HOW MUCH OF A BIG MAN YOU ARE!"
"so you have shark fin soup?" "yes, it's our special dish" "I'm a bit picky when it comes to fin soup, can I see the chef's hands?" "sure, he'll come out in a minute" "no need, just the hands."
Also, on the idea of sharks feeling affection, sharks and rays are closely related, and some species of rays (mainly the cownose ray) love to be pet. I’ve gotten to pet cownose rays on three separate occasions, and each time it amazed me just how much they would come up to you. You could argue they just wanted food, but they seemed to genuinely enjoy interacting with people. Some would even splash people or try and climb out of the water a bit to get a closer look. They’re also…soft? They’re not furry like dogs, but they’re very relaxing to touch in my opinion. Easily one of my favorite sea creatures now, they really do act like dogs.
Stingrays are also very smooth and like to splash. The couple times I have been able to pet rays the sharks would hang out with them and sometimes you could pet them too so maybe they also like a little pet depending what n the species?
I got to touch a baby leopard shark in an aquarium I even got to pick it up and hold it it was super cute and adorable and felt kind of like a lizard in being small and scaly but still nice to touch It was a very friendly little guy
Well considering they live in the wild where things want them out of the census daily, getting to meet 1 that isn’t actively trying to murk them must feel good.
@@ElpSmith nurse sharks are very chill and enjoy intearctions. I used to swim with a bunch at my favorite rock jetty every weekend, and i swear they lowkey recognized me because they didnt get spooked by me like other swimmers. Id go swish sand around to expose shellfish for em and theyd follow me around munchin em up, and they'd let me gently handle em even to the point i could hold em in my arms standing upright (i just held them near the waters surface, didnt take em out of the water).

"Remember when I said I'd show a cactus my uvula before I go out into the ocean? Yeah it was a.. tough cactus" is now my favorite intro to a video ever and I don't think anything is ever going to top it
I loved this, particularly how well you were able to showcase their complex and diverse social behaviors without falling into anthropomorphizing them. Instantly one of my favorite of your videos.
Agreed, too often people fall into either thinking an animal is a good sweet hearted angel or a evil monster villain when at the end of the day, it's just a animal. We too often assign our own morals to animals, and predator species face the worst of it because they eat other animals and cause unnecessary stigma around them like wolves, snakes, and sharks for just trying to live.
Sharks don't like to be touched, and bubbles feel weird. They also reduce buoyancy, so the sharks experience an awkward imbalance in the water. Scuba divers have the least to fear because they're loud. Most marine life will keep its distance from those obnoxious noisemakers. That's why most marine biologists prefer to dive rebreathers. The lack of expelled bubbles lets them get closer.
00:01 Diving in a cage like this will kill most sharks that try to get you. They will try to press themselfes through the space between the bars and damage their most sensitive areas. Sharks can't swim backwards so if they try this they are usually dead. There's plenty of videos of sharks who died because of these cages. If you want to swim with a shark the only right way is to get a pro guide who can tell if it's safe to swim with the sharks.
My youngest sister is actually studying shark conservation in Oregon currently! She loves sharks so much and wants to find ways to push back against hunting them and the whole de-finning acts. She wrote a really fascinating paper on the topic and I'm super excited for her
The fact that metal attracts sharks is actually so cool. Like imagine a band called "loan sharks predators" with a great white wearing a bowler cap as the band icon.
The visual of struggling prey sounding like death metal will never not be funny. Now I can only imagine rapid bursts of the stuff whenever a fish violently zooms away from a shark.

I love sharks, and I'm glad that conservation has gotten so much bigger in the last couple decades. I checked off a bucketlist item when I went to Miami a few years ago... I swam with 12 to 15 sharks, several miles off shore, without a cage! The first few minutes were some of the most terrifying and anxiety inducing minutes of my life but after I managed to calm myself down, it was EASILY the coolest experience of my life. I would do it again, without hesitation!
If sharks didn't exist, the Chinese would have to find another way to show off their status through food. This would likely push a few more animals to the brink of extinction and cause a few more global pandemics every decade.

Here is a fun trivia i read in a book ages ago. Apparantly scientists took a bulldhark found FAR in land, perhaps even a lake cant remember exactly, and they put it in a tank with various noises playing. It didnt give a shit until the Orca played, it went ballistic trying to flee. And this is despite the fact it should have NEVER personally encountered orcas.
The fear is just ingrained genetically it seems
His friends probably told him stories about the dreaded orcas and how it's already too late if he heard their terrifying call.
Orcas orcs. Hmmmmm wonder why fantasy creation of utter scum and villainy is just lacking an A to make orca.
@@yaboi21321 depends on the fantasy world. In Skyrim, Orcs may be aittle more violent because of who they worship, but they're still a kind of elf

Bring back old school shark week where its just scientists who don't have a clue on how to host a tv show with such little charisma but such a great love of sharks. I used to beg my parents to record this entire week on VHS as a kid, and I would rewatch them and be enamored by the sharks, the facts, and the calming content that was only good thanks to my obsession with these amazing animals and had absolutely no drama or action to it.
I was going to comment the same thing. I liked how it was a bunch of facts and generally a message of "sharks aren't monsters, they're important to the environment, and aren't nearly as aggressive as you think they are." now it's "here's 30 minutes of shark attack footage...and here's Morgan Freeman."
I haven't turned on Discovery since they got rid of these loveable dorks. No charisma. The editors worked their hardest to make their parts look good, but their sheer love of their work made you listen.
I appreciate the ones where it’s non-scientists reacting to shark clips followed by the scientists explaining what’s actually going on in the clip, but that’s as far as I want it to stray from strictly scientists nerding out over sharks.
Discovery has been dead to me since they aired that bullshit "documentary" on megladon years ago and tried to pass it off as non-fiction with no disclaimer or anything when it was all faked. I think the jerkoff CEO who is killing off animation now might have been in charge of Discovery then too, which would track at least.

Sharks are like giant toddlers, if they don't know what something is, they stick it in their mouth (because that's their most sensitive organ) so they can learn more about it.
They typically don't like eating humans because they are used to eating fish, which barely have any bones, or seals, which have a lot more meat on their bones than humans.
Still, a curiosity bite from a shark can be dangerous... so punch them in the nose and they'll leave you alone.
A lady who got her leg bitten off by a shark said initially he was just mouthing it “like a puppy” before chomping down when she started kicking.

Dude, as a lifelong shark fan and having managed a dive shop, it is a wild thing to try to get people to not treat them like horror movie monsters. I love sharks, I've always found them fascinating, but the amount of bad press they've gotten sometimes makes it seem insurmountable.

Strangely enough, I have seen less and less of them wash up ashore here in the Netherlands. There used to be 1000's of them beached everytime I went to the beach during my childhood, but in recent years I have seen just one or two and sometimes none at all.

Not enough turtles, I guess....
just an annoying reminder that anecdotal data is not sufficient to make any generalised claims.
mamadou was mostly making a hypothetical claim that a trophic cascade could lead to jellyfish blooms which can cause far worse devastation - hence jellies are scarier than sharks. that conclusion is more of a hyperbole, but also an invitation to change our perspectives.
jelly blooms may be happening more in certain areas while jellies could be going locally extinct elsewhere... the oceans are far from a single ecosystem and they hella complex.

I don't blame Jaws for being a successful horror fiction movie, I blame the idiots in the audiences who let their fear of sharks dictate how the real-life animals should be treated.
Benchley was an amateur biologist. Just one of those guys who grew up around the ocean and loved the life in it. By way of fixing all the shark hate that Jaws might have created, he wrote a book called Shark Life. I recommend it if you like factual reading. It's boring to some people because it's factual stories of his own family's encounters in the ocean while Scooba diving, as well as basic ocean safety swimming and diving. But if you love shark information on a personal level, it's a great book.
I blame both.
I read “Jaws” as something else for a second…
@@starboundtransraceactivist847 ME TOO
Jaws didn't do that. People have been killing sharks for millennia. People have feared sharks for millennia. People have been harvesting shark fins for centuries at least, and these days it happens mostly in 3rd world countries or international waters, with some notable exceptions. Most of the people killing sharks today never watch Jaws, by my guess.
I never thought I'd ever see sharks stack on top of each other like Pringles chips just to sleep better, yet here we are.
Always loved sharks. One of my favorite games is Maneater, I love playing as a shark, cleaning up the ocean and getting rid of shark hunters lol. I've always found them cute, even as a small child. I fear them as much as I fear a snake, enough to want to keep one! 😂 Although I'd never do that because there is now way I'd want to keep a beautiful creature on display inside a tank.
Bro bro, thank you. That is my game.. you get the expansion for it? Do it if not
It's crazy to me how scared people are when we've screwed them over so much worse. Fear and Hollywood are powerful things. I've always loved and been fascinated by these creatures, and I wish there was more being done to spread the good word about them. Not enough people realize how cooked we'd be with them, and that even a 450 million year old apex predator can be toppled by us and deserves to be protected. Gordan Ramsey said: "Leave them alone, respect their beauty."
Preach my brother, preach!
Agreed. Sharks are a gift and one of the most important players in the ocean. We need to keep them around.
The fact that Jaws is lauded as a "masterpiece" makes me want to projectile vomit all over the idiots who say that. Nothing has ever been worse for sharks' reputation and if Jaws didn't tell Hollywood they could make money off of this fear mongering, sharks would be in a much better place.
You summed it up perfectly.

Also, on the idea of sharks feeling affection, sharks and rays are closely related, and some species of rays (mainly the cownose ray) love to be pet. I’ve gotten to pet cownose rays on three separate occasions, and each time it amazed me just how much they would come up to you. You could argue they just wanted food, but they seemed to genuinely enjoy interacting with people. Some would even splash people or try and climb out of the water a bit to get a closer look. They’re also…soft? They’re not furry like dogs, but they’re very relaxing to touch in my opinion. Easily one of my favorite sea creatures now, they really do act like dogs.
Ugh rays are so cute. I used to see them in the shallow water of the harbour sometimes in my old city.
Stingrays are also very smooth and like to splash. The couple times I have been able to pet rays the sharks would hang out with them and sometimes you could pet them too so maybe they also like a little pet depending what n the species?

Agreed, too often people fall into either thinking an animal is a good sweet hearted angel or a evil monster villain when at the end of the day, it's just a animal. We too often assign our own morals to animals, and predator species face the worst of it because they eat other animals and cause unnecessary stigma around them like wolves, snakes, and sharks for just trying to live.
To add to the dog analogy, some sharks habituated to particular humans actively seek belly rubs
Sharks being afraid of bubbles definitely lessened some of the fear I have for them! 🤯😂
Sailor Mercury saves the beach episode!
XD
Sharks don't like to be touched, and bubbles feel weird. They also reduce buoyancy, so the sharks experience an awkward imbalance in the water. Scuba divers have the least to fear because they're loud. Most marine life will keep its distance from those obnoxious noisemakers. That's why most marine biologists prefer to dive rebreathers. The lack of expelled bubbles lets them get closer.

00:01 Diving in a cage like this will kill most sharks that try to get you. They will try to press themselfes through the space between the bars and damage their most sensitive areas. Sharks can't swim backwards so if they try this they are usually dead. There's plenty of videos of sharks who died because of these cages.

@NerdieTheBillCipherFan "JuST gO IN ThE tHE wATEr aND swIM WITh SHaRkS WiTH No pRoteCtion," I dunno that sounds kinda goofy.
@bunkusdundongo6675 you completely changed what they said
The ending hit so hard emotionally tho, now I feel like crying over sharks 😭 you're a master storyteller bro
My youngest sister is actually studying shark conservation in Oregon currently! She loves sharks so much and wants to find ways to push back against hunting them and the whole de-finning acts. She wrote a really fascinating paper on the topic and I'm super excited for her
The fact that metal attracts sharks is actually so cool. Like imagine a band called "loan sharks predators" with a great white wearing a bowler cap as the band icon.
I think you described Jabber Jaws 🤣
That rocks. I would love to see it.
Gonna blast the album Megalodon by Gutteral Slug for the sharks
Loan sharks predators? Wtf
The visual of struggling prey sounding like death metal will never not be funny.
Now I can only imagine rapid bursts of the stuff whenever a fish violently zooms away from a shark.

@@BrokensoulRiderThe fish's thought as it swims down to escape
Casual Geographic is not be the biggest YT channel I've come across but it certainly is one of the most appreciated.
Look at the like/view ratio. A lot of big channels gets millions of views but only a few thousands of likes on their videos.
6:36 we did the exact same thing in World War Two with our planes. The bottom half would be white generally and the top half would match whatever color the plane is expected to fly over, green or tan for land and blue for the ocean
I honestly think sharks are the most misunderstood animals ever
Facts
That why they made it on the list of top 10 misunderstood animals
Absolutely!
@@SlothShowerbirds are a-holes. 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@SlothShower Birds are animals that are very well known to cause problems.
Has someone who works at a museum that has a shark exhibit, it's really fun that I get to tell kids about the prehistory of sharks, their relatives, conservation efforts, and we have a touch tank too. I'd rather be around a shark than a dolphin. And the fact that a lot of people still haven't learned how important sharks are is really sad.
Sharks in movies: *roaring and growling with giant teeth that breaks through everything*
Sharks IRL: "nyom."
Well how would roaring work underwater?
Sharks streaming on the internet: oh nyooo
On a different topic 3:09 scared the shit out of me (literally) mainly bc I have arachnophobia
They're just giant sea toddlers that explore things mouth first. If sharks had hands, they probably wouldn't be as dangerous
@@mndiaye_97yeah, it's kinda sad that they are so curious but their only way of investigating other creatures tends to greatly injure them. Reminds me of Edward Scissorhands.
3:09 taking everything in me not to unsubscribe 😭😭😭
I’m not even actually thalassophobic but WHAAAAT the fuuuuu- 0:30. What. Nope. Absolutely not. Is the person filming on a paddle board?! Bro, do not fall in. For the love of literally anything DO NOT. New fear unlocked. I live in the middle of the continent but STILL.
No fr I'll take a shark over a jellyfish family reunion any day
Even with the warning, I had to look away.😂
as someone who is thalassophobic I didnt react and time and was hyperventilating for a solid 30 seconds. Only gripe with the video is that warning was too short
I am very scared of jellyfish 🪼 can totally admit it
what was the song in that thing. Horrifying
first time i saw that Thing i thought it was a bunch of fish insides...
I love sharks, and I'm glad that conservation has gotten so much bigger in the last couple decades.
I checked off a bucketlist item when I went to Miami a few years ago... I swam with 12 to 15 sharks, several miles off shore, without a cage! The first few minutes were some of the most terrifying and anxiety inducing minutes of my life but after I managed to calm myself down, it was EASILY the coolest experience of my life. I would do it again, without hesitation!
That jumpscare with the spider...you got me man. I havent seen that one yet. Bravo.
I love sharks already 0:25
There like water puppies
What a world without sharks would look like:
Ultra Pollutted Oceans
Mass Extinctions in the oceans
Whales and dolphins walking on land and taking revenge on us....
If sharks didn't exist, the Chinese would have to find another way to show off their status through food. This would likely push a few more animals to the brink of extinction and cause a few more global pandemics every decade.
I would need more data to support this, but yea interesting thought for sure.
@@DavidSmith-cr7mb remember how we removed predators from their natural environment and the other species went out of control . The removal of the sea otter the sea urchin went rampant , the removal of wolf and the deer ate all the grassland .
@@kenfern2259 Yeah turns out ecology is not as simple as "evil dog, human kill now >:c"
9:00 Ok, 1 they got taste, and 2, Back in Black is unironically on of the best entrance themes so it really fits.
I was legitimately putting on my socks when you said more likely to get merc'd while putting on socks
I was looking for socks to put on in the pile of unfolded laundry! I fully paused
1:28 a casual monday in the ocean for an orca grandmother
8:35 "Afraid of a spongebob screen transition" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't want to live in a world where dolphins just dolphin about without repercussions.
At least y’all would still have the orcas to keep them in check
@@cardbrobot those are dolphins
@@LuckyNumber39 they eat smaller dolphins. and also sharks aren’t stopping orcas either way so
@@cardbrobot fair, but the point still stands. Kinda reminds me of the Siren Head/Megahorn relationship
If you mean what I think you mean when you say "dolphin about without repercussions" then yes, I wouldn't want to live in that world either. Dolphins, and I don't mean only orcas, just "normal" dolphins, are sociopaths and need to be kept in check lmao
CG: "Sharks like Heavy Metal and their favorite is ACDC"
Me: Am... I a Shark?
If you hate bubble baths and have a best friend group maybe
No. You white
AC/DC is hard rock, not heavy metal.
Is... AC/DC Heavy Metal?
Yes. Yes you are.
The clip at 3:04 of the spider jumping at the camera, made me accidentally hit my phone against my lip causing it to bleed.
